5 out of 5 starsI got my driver's license here in an intensive course and completed all the required hours in just under 1.5 weeks. My driving instructor, Yildirim, taught me how to drive in a very clear and enjoyable way. The theory lessons were also completed quickly, so I was able to hold my license in my hands in less than two months. Both the theoretical and practical training were excellent, which is why I passed both exams on my first attempt.

Your driving school in Bochum
Since 2024 Fahrschule Kessler has also been in Bochum. Our branch is at Nordring 63, 44787 Bochum. We're not new to the business, though: the family company has existed since 1973, now in its third generation, and across all branches more than 1,000 people get their licence with us every year. We bring that experience to Bochum.
Opening hours on Nordring
You can reach us in Bochum Monday to Friday between 15:00 and 19:00. During that time we answer your questions in person, take sign-ups and show you how the training works. If you'd prefer an unhurried consultation beforehand, arrange a free consultation in Bochum and come by at the agreed time.
Your training consultant in Bochum
So you don't have to start from scratch with every question, you have a dedicated contact in Bochum: your training consultant. You get the contact details right when you sign up. Whether a driving lesson needs to be moved, a document is missing or you want to know when your exam is due: you get in touch, and it gets sorted out for you. The bosses are also regularly in Bochum – feel free to talk to them when they're there. Our app shows you how far you've come and what has already been paid.

How to get started in Bochum
Step one: an eye test and a first-aid course, which you need for every class. Step two: signing up, at the branch on Nordring or online. Then your application is submitted to the road traffic office; we take care of handing in your papers. Theory lessons start at the same time. The theory schedule shows which topics are covered when. The exams themselves are conducted by TÜV Nord – we arrange the dates with you as soon as your exam order is in.
Frequently asked questions about our Bochum branch

According to our current price list (as of December 2025), the fixed costs for class B are €1,680.86 – including 12 special drives. Each further practice lesson of 40 min. costs €65.99. On top of that come the TÜV fees: theory €24.99, practical €129.83. How many practice lessons you need beyond that depends on you – our cost calculator works out an example total for you.
- When are theory lessons held in Bochum?
We hold theory lessons from Monday to Friday at all our branches, including Bochum – from 18:00 to 19:30, no booking needed. You can see which lesson takes place when in our theory schedule.
- How many driving lessons do you need?
Nobody prescribes a fixed number of driving lessons. The special drives are mandatory: for class B, five rural road drives, four motorway drives and three night drives – twelve of 45 minutes each in total. How many practice lessons you additionally need depends on your prior knowledge, your talent and how regularly you practise. Experience shows that most learner drivers need around 20 to 30 additional driving lessons – some need fewer, others considerably more.
- How do I sign up in Bochum?
You can sign up directly at our branch (Nordring 63) or online via our online registration. To register, you need almost nothing at first: your ID card and bank details are enough. If you would like advice first, book a free consultation in Bochum.
